Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

If you join a Cupra Born Facebook group you might find a dealer with a stock car that matches what you want. I'm on there and keep seeing them share with the group the stock they have.

Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

Long time lurker with a Family Pro on order since last November. Still no build date! Sat in a Born a couple of weeks ago and loved the comfort of the seats and the larger screen. Long story short, ordered a stock V2 car in the colour and spec I wanted and will take delivery within 3 weeks. Cancell...

Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

Yeah. It came with a rubber boot liner and small mud flaps. On the Cupra FB group I'm told they're not standard on V2. They were using it as a display car so maybe that's why?

Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

No, its a 20 min drive across the city (depending on traffic). I was hoping for an early pick up but when I spoke to the dealer yesterday he said he would see what he could do. I wasn't left with a lot of confidence...

Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

I got my vin and car reg today for my Born V2 with tech pack L. I pick it up Friday. When I test drove the v1 it did feel firmer suspension wise than the ID3 first edition I test drove last October. I'm pleased I've jumped to the Born. Roll on Friday!

Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

I'm now on the Facebook Cupra Born group and there are a few dealers on there telling people they have stock cars available. I pick up my Born next Friday (v2 L tech pack in the dark grey, can't remember what it's called).

Re: Delivery time

It's Bristol Street Motors Seat/Cupra (Birmingham). They have v1, v2 and v3 in stock. It appears dealers were allocated stock cars as part of the launch alongside the orders for new Borns when they opened the order books. I've read on a Facebook group ID3 builds were pushed back to make capacity fo...

Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

I test drove (and ordered) a Cupra Born today. The drive feels a lot like the ID3 but it feels as if the suspension has been tightened up to me. Others have said the it feels exactly the same. In acceleration it did (and it was the 204PS) but the ride felt a bit firmer. I think I have seen in the re...

Re: Delivery time

Bit of an update from me. I've test driven a Cupra Born today and the dealership near me has cars in stock. So.... I'm jumping over to the Born. V2 with tech pack in Vapor Grey. I pick it up next Friday. I've took a hit on the part exchange value of my current car (less than last Oct) and of course ...

Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

The lead times can't be right can they - 18-30 weeks? I read on the UK ID3 Facebook group that ID3s are being quoted as up to 18 months. You would think Cupra would have similar time lines? But - really helpful review. There are three things I like about the Cupra Born (without having test driving o...

Re: Delivery time

Update from the dealer this morning. Like a few of you guys I’ve also been bumped to week 38. Which seems kind of odd that we are all getting the same build week? Any theories? The Sherlock Holmes in me, doing a bit of reading through the thread, July/August/Very Early Sept Orders now seem to be pr...

Re: Delivery time

I spoke to my dealership yesterday. They mentioned a lot of their id.3 customer build dates have either moved forward or pushed back to weeks between 37-41. Maybe VW are planning to build a load of right hand drives during this time, it might help them with logistics (ships) too???? Mine family per...

Re: Delivery time

My order (on 9th October) was on Friday pushed from week 22 to week 38. So, if that is correct then I will be over a year waiting for my ID3 and the grant could be refused? But, thinking about this over the weekend I've decided to not worry about the grant and leave the order open. If at the time th...

Re: Delivery time

Just had an update from the dealership. Pushed back to week 38. It was week 22 (next week). Still status 10.

At least the dealer apologised for ruining my weekend!

Re: Delivery time

I do think part of VW groups problem (seemingly longer delays than other brands) is the amount of variants that have launched on the MEB platform. Buy, I accept that's my personal guess work....

Re: ID3 GTX in 2023 face-lift?

I think the ID3 launch was late 2019? But, a sportier looking version of the ID3 might be of interest to some. Dual motor would surely push it towards or beyond £40k (once you add on all of the tech it will have)? Anyway - I thought it was an interesting piece.
